Ekyamateeka Olwokubiri 24
1 Omusajja bw’anaawasanga omukazi, naye oluvannyuma n’amukyawa, kubanga amuvumbuddeko ebitamusanyusa, bw’atyo n’amuwandiikira ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba, n’agimukwasa, n’amugoba mu nnyumba ye,
When a man taketh a woman, and marrieth her, then shall it be, if she find not favour in his eyes, because he hath found in her some matter of shame, that he shall write her a scroll of divorcement, and put it into her hand, and shall send her forth, out of his house.
2 omukazi oyo anaayinzanga okwefunira omusajja omulala n’amufumbirwa.
And, when she cometh forth out of his house, then may she go her way, and become another man’s.
3 Omusajja ono owookubiri naye bw’anaamukyawanga n’amuwandiikira ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba, n’agimukwasa, n’amugoba mu nnyumba ye, oba omusajja oyo owookubiri bw’anaafanga;
But if the latter husband hate her, and write her a scroll of divorcement and put it into her hand, and send her away out of his house, —or, if the latter husband die, who had taken her to him to wife,
4 bba eyasooka, eyali amugobye takkirizibwenga kuddamu kumuwasa kuba mukazi we, kubanga omukazi oyo anaabanga amaze okwebaka n’omusajja omulala. Ekyo kinaabanga kya kivve mu maaso ga Mukama. Totwalanga kibi mu nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okubeera obutaka bwo obw’enkalakkalira.
then may her first husband who sent her away not again take her to become his wife after that she hath been defiled, for that were an abomination, before Yahweh, —lest thou bring sin upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
5 Omusajja bw’anaabanga yaakawasa taalondebwenga kugenda kutabaala oba okuweebwa omulimu omulala omunene ng’ogwo. Anaasigalanga mu maka ge okumala ebbanga lya mwaka mulamba ng’asanyusa mukazi we gw’anaabanga awasizza.
When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go forth to war, neither shall he be charged with any business, —free, shall he be for his own house one year, and shall rejoice with his wife whom he hath taken.
6 Omuntu bw’awolanga munne n’amusaba omusingo, oba akakalu, tamuggyangako lubengo oba enso ng’omusingo oba akakalu, kubanga mu musingo ng’ogwo, aba atwaliddemu obulamu bwa munne.
No man shall take in pledge a handmill, or an upper millstone, —for he would be taking life, in pledge.
7 Omuntu bw’anaakwatibwanga ng’awamba, obanga atunda Omuyisirayiri munne mu buddu, kale omuwambi anattibwanga. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangamu ekibi wakati mu mmwe.
When a man is found stealing any person from among his brethren of the sons of Israel, and making merchandise of him, or selling him, then shall that thief die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.
8 Bwe wanaagwangawo obulwadde obw’olususu ng’obw’ebigenge, weegenderezanga nnyo, n’ogonderanga ebyo Abaleevi, bakabona, bye banaabalagiranga okukola, nga bwe mbalagidde.

outside, shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou art lending, shall bring forth unto thee his pledge outside,

And, if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep in his pledge:

thou shalt, restore, to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, so shall he sleep in his own mantle, and bless thee, —and, unto thee, shall it be righteousness before Yahweh thy God.
14 Toyiikirizanga mwavu n’omupakasi ali mu kwetaaga, n’olwawo okumusasula empeera ye; ne bw’anaabanga Omuyisirayiri munno oba ow’okubannamawanga abanaabeeranga mu nsi yo nga basula mu kimu ku bibuga byo.
Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, —of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that are in thy land, within thy gates;
15 Onoomusasulanga empeera ye eya buli lunaku ng’enjuba tennaba kugwa, kubanga mwavu n’omutima gwe gubeera ku mpeera eyo. Kubanga bw’onoomulagajjaliranga, anaayinzanga okukaabirira Mukama Katonda n’akuloopayo, bw’otyo onoogwanga mu musango ogw’ekibi.

Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the sojourner [or] the fatherless, —neither shalt thou take in pledge the garment of a widow;

so shalt thou remember that, a servant, becamest thou in Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, from thence, —therefore, am I commanding thee to do this thing.

When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, —that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands.
20 Bw’onookubanga emizeeyituuni okuva ku miti gyo, toddangayo ku matabi mulundi gwakubiri okumalirako ddala ebibala ebinaabanga bisigaddeko. Ebyo binaabanga bya bannamawanga, n’abaana bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.

so shalt thou remember that a servant, becamest thou in the land of Egypt, —therefore, am I commending thee to do this thing.
